by Aristophanes, translated by Patric Dickinson
Lysistrata is not happy. Her husband and the other men of Athens are involved in a pointless and seemingly endless war. But then she remembers that there is traditionally one thing that is guaranteed to get a man’s attention....
Aristophanes’ witty, topical and outrageous comedy describes the world’s first ever sex strike. The women of Athens give their husbands a very clear message : no sex until the war stops. And that seems to get the men’s attention....
This rumbustious physical production marries classical Greek tradition with the best of contemporary physical theatre, to an original live score by James Lark. Don’t miss it.
